In the beginning of the semester, we reviewed different types of basic parent functions

The next couple of pieces were created when I began experimenting and testing in Desmos. I had never used Desmos before so this was the very beginning of my learning process. I was practicing combing and transforming the different types of functions I was familiar with.

The previous piece reminded me of a pattern of code. I had never seen a graph look like that before and it made me think of the Matrix.

All of these pieces were combining functions I was familiar with to create completely new functions I had never seen graphed before.

This next piece is the experimental piece that first inspired my artwork for Project #1

It reminded me of a lotus flower being reflected in the water. This made me want to create art that involved a reflection in water.

I had the idea of a sunset being reflected in the ocean and this piece was experimenting with how to create the sun.

I decided to add a sail boat to my artwork to add another layer to my art work, and help me develop and show more skill.

This picture of a sail boat in front of an ocean sunset was one of the images that helped inspire my project.

After I finished Project #1, I experimented again in Desmos and came up with a simple star. This gave me the idea to have my next project be about space.

I realized that I could use one of the new skills I learned in class to make constellation formations. This was one of the reference photos I used.

I began testing the technique out and it worked.

I started practicing creating real constellations.

Here is my favorite piece I created in the whole semester. I made up a constellation in the shape of a human face. It took me a few hours to complete and perfect.

While getting prepared for Project #2 I realized I could use another technique I learned in class to make a galaxy shape.

This was my first draft that I submitted for peer review. After receiving some good advice I developed my art piece further
